UNSPSC 50451910: Frozen organic cylindra beets

The variety of organic beets known as organic cylindra beets that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50451910 Frozen organic cylindra beets is a Commodity code that covers the procurement of fresh and frozen beet products for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs and state agency operations. State and local governments buy these products as components of broader frozen vegetable and produce sourcing, typically bundled with multi-item food supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. The solicitations show that frozen and fresh vegetables appear within comprehensive grocery and produce bids issued by school districts and state agencies to support child nutrition services, facility operations, and meal programs. Issuing bodies include state departments (Georgia), county school systems (Early County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Dallas ISD in Texas), and city school districts (Decatur). School nutrition programs account for the majority of recent activity, with districts conducting annual competitive procurements to supply meals across dozens of school sites.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary volume in Texas. Representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 (RFP for 300+ food items across meats, poultry, dairy, and vegetables for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs), Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs due March 4, 2026 (covering 72 produce line items and eggs with estimated annual spend of approximately $4.4 million for Area One), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's annual fresh produce contract (Bid 26-34) due April 23, 2026 (72 fresh produce items), and the State of Georgia's general food supplies bid due June 22, 2026. Frozen vegetables are sourced as part of broader commodity lists; a standalone frozen-beet specification is not evident in the recent postings, though the code likely captures beets when included in vendor catalogs supporting multi-item school lunch tenders. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, delivery is required to multiple school sites Monday through Friday within early morning windows, and pricing must remain firm for the initial contract year with adjustments permitted only on documented cost increases exceeding district-specified thresholds.
